We Three Heroes is a collection of three novellas from the world of Lynette Noni’s Medoran Chronicles. Each novella shows events that have already happened, but from the point of view of each of Alex’s best friends—D.C., Jordan, and Bear.

I’ve followed Lynette’s stories for a few years now, and I’ve always been so impressed with how quickly her star has risen in this YA Fantasy world. The events of the last two books especially have been dramatic and heartbreaking at times, and (without spoiling those who have yet to catch up on the books) certainly Jordan’s and Bear’s novellas reflect the emotional turmoil each of them has gone through, especially in the events of Graevale. This collection certainly contains spoilers for all the events in the first four books. Do not read it if you’re still catching up!

I enjoyed reading each individual story, but it’s always tricky with novellas—they don’t always belong in any particular storyline, or they go over events we’re already aware of, so they tend to lose their appeal and/or their importance to the series. The first story, dealing with the backstory of D.C. before and in her early years at Akarnae was a sweet story about overcoming bullies and finding true friends, but I would have rather seen more of her development once at Akarnae and learning to trust Alex and the boys. Perhaps we already had that story in Akarnae.

Jordan’s story was important to show the way he dealt with traumatic events, since we didn’t get to see that so much in Graevale. Bear’s story does deal with a lot of events that I was already aware of, but Bear is such a sweet character that it’s a joy to read about things from his point of view.

Over all, it’s worth reading these stories if you’re a fan of the series, but you won’t miss anything desperately important if you decide not to read them.
